2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Safety
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found the regular, non-WRX versions of the Impreza to be worthy of their highest possible rating of “Good” in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact, and roof strength tests. You could expect similar results from the WRX due to the cars’ similar features.
